Tales of the Otherworld explores the lives of some of Armstrong’s most popular characters, giving readers glimpses into how Clay and Elena met, how Eve and Kristof first hooked up (a brand new novella), and how Lucas and Paige got married.

Kelley is one of my top 3 favorite authors of forever and ever, so it’s no big surprise that I adored Tales of the Otherworld. The writing and storylines were stellar and it was great to get some backstory on fave characters.

You know when your favorite TV show does one of those “way back in the beginning” episodes where you get a glimpse into the lives of the characters before the show started? Well, that’s exactly what Tales of the Otherworld was for me. It was bittersweet to read about Clay and Elena’s first encounter since most readers know what happens after. Same goes for Eve and Kristof. When reading their stories it was wonderful to see how far they have come, especially Elena.

To offset the seriousness of some of the short stories, Kelley included the telling of Paige and Lucas’ wedding, which offered up a bit of comic relief. We also get to witness a brief encountered between Lucas and Eve, which was interesting just in the fact of how their lives end up intertwining years later.

Kelley’s writing style, plots and character development always draw me in and keep me engage, and Tales of the Otherworld was no different. Fans of the Women of the Otherworld series will love these short stories and new fans will most likely become addicted to Kelley’s writing and world.
